Nasser's catastrophic defeat in the 1967 Six-Day War

In the war of 5–10 June 1967, Israel destroyed the Egyptian air force on the ground and captured Sinai and Gaza from Egypt, the West Bank from Jordan and the Golan from Syria. The crushing defeat — the "Naksa" — shattered the credibility of Nasser's pan-Arab project; he briefly resigned before mass demonstrations recalled him, but Nasserism never recovered.
